A Positive and Practical Course for Parents of Teenagers
Parents are really important in helping their teenagers develop and grow up as responsible adults. Yet parenting can sometimes a difficult job and everyone needs support and help.
The Parents Plus Adolescents Programme hopes to help you:
The course does not propose to find magic answers but hopes to help parents to gain the support of other parents and to find down-to-earth solutions for difficult situations. The focus of the course is positive and aims to build on your strengths as a parent and what you are already doing right
Who should attendThe course is open to all parents/careers with Teens from 12-17
Where possible we recommend that both parents attend the course as we have found this helps the child the most. If you are parenting alone please feel free to bring along another supportive family member.
